Audra Studied many theories before she found one that felt aligned with her beliefs and was able to not only guide her therapeutic practice but she came to view it as a way of life.

Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST), also known as the Satir method, was designed to improve relationships and communication within the family structure by addressing a person’s actions, emotions, and perceptions as they relate to that person’s dynamic within the family unit.

The foundation concept of STST is the belief all people are connected through a universal Life Energy, which can be accessed to achieve transformational change, develop and strengthen relationships, change behaviors, and develop positive life energy.

“If we can share our story with someone who responds with empathy and understanding, shame can’t survive.” Brene Brown

A few other important ideas guiding STST include but are not limited to the following:

All people are innately good and have positive Life Energy at their core.
